Dr. Harvey Sets New TV Show
Professor to Give First Credit Lecture In Child Psychology
Dr. Herman Harvey, assistant professor of psychology, will conduct the first class of his “Child Growth and Behavior” course tomorrow at 11:15 over KNXT, channel 2. The principal student in the classroom will be the television camera.
Harvey, who uses film clips
and charts to. conduct his lectures, is beginning his second semester of television courses-for-credit on child psychology.
“The informal program, in which Harvey casually talks to the camera as if it were a student, reaches an estimated audience of 100,000 viewers,” said Bill Yates, publicist for KNXT.
The 16 lectures, running 45 minutes on succeeding Saturdays, were scheduled ♦ this year as a result of the enthusiastic audience reception of last year’s classes, Yates said.
Much Mail "During the last weeks of the course,” he said, “Harvey received more than 200 letters a day, all in praise of the lectures or seeking information about enrollment in the course.”
In his first lecture, Harvey will discuss the superstitions associated with child birth, and the consequences of maternal fears on the child from infancy to adulthood.
KANGAROO COURT JUMPS OUT OF CONTROL AT DU
It all started as a joke until everything got turned upside down.
Members of the Kappa Sigma fraternity at Denver University, grown sensitive over the loss of their symbol and memorial plaque, decided on an all-out effort to recover it.
Luring ten Alpha Chi Omega sorority members to their fraternity house, the Kappa Sigs ordered them to stand trial before a kangaroo court. The convicted girls were sentenced, “in fun,” to have the stolen symbol painted on their foreheads.
The “court” got out of hand, however, when one coed was forced to stand on her head and have the symbol painted on her panties.
Kappa Sigma fraternity of Denver University is now on probation until June 80, 1957. ________________________

No Check Cashing At Campus
After Investigation ASSC Solons Say Service Unfeasable
The possibility of a check-cashing service on campus was termed “unfeasable” yesterday by ASSC senators investigating the matter.
Senate J e a d e r s decided against pushing for such a service following a meeting yesterday afternoon with Financial Vice-President Robert Fisher. The investigation was started following a request for such a service to the Senate by Gary Kreutz. DT city editor.
Fisher told the group that a check-cashing service was instituted several years ago and proved to be a financial failure.
The salary paid to maintain a clerk for the service plus the loss from bad checks amounted to about $5000 a year, Fisher said.
Bill Van Alstyne, ASSC president said he felt the matter closed unless students express a desire to pay for the service, which is unlikely because students can gash checks cheaper at the bank on Jefferson.
“I think we’ve done all we can to investigate and it just is not practical,” Van Alstyne said.
The recommendation will be submitted to the Senate at their next meeting.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10 — (UP)—The Congressional Atomic Committee was holding its daily row on the Dixon-Yates power contract today when atom boss Lewis L. Strauss had four big packing crates of AEC papers wheeled in.

“I’m responsible, Mr. Chairman,” Strauss replied.
He explained that the three-foot wooden boxes contained all the “reading papers” given the

Why Advertise
A Competitor?'
Asks V. P. Fisher
by Charlie Barnett Daily Trojan Editor
Financial Vice President Robert D. Fisher yesterday complied with a request of the ASSC Senate by clarifying the university’s policy of barring off campus bookstores from advertising in the Daily Trrojan. He explained the university policy in a conference with representatives of the Senate and the DT. -------
Halls of Science" Topic Announced
Paul Saltman. assistant professor of .biochemistry and nutrition, will be on “Halls of Science,” SC’s w-eekly TV program Saturday at 4 p.m. on KRCA, Channel 4. He will give the first of a two-part presentation entitled “The Origin of Life.”
“As long as man has w'andered the face of the earth he has wondered how living things in general, and himself in particular, were created,” Dr. Saltman stated. “The historical evolutioji of ideas concerning the origin of life will be discussed in the light of the new theories and experiments of modem science.”
Wednesday night the Senate had unanimously passed a resolution by Senator-at-large Murray Bring requesting that the administration either drop the advertising ban or give a “satisfactory” explanation for it.
All Agree
Following yesterday’s conference, Bring and ASSC President Bill Van Alstyne who represented the Senate agreed that the administration had complied with the resolution by giving a full explanation.
Vice President Fisher refused to consider lifting the ban and defended it as a sound economic policy in the best interests of the entire university.
Fisher explained that the university operates on the general fund . or “one pocketbook” system of financing. He said it received income from various sources including tuition (by far the largest), endowments, research grants, gifts, net income from athletics and net income from the University Bookstore. All the income is pooled into “one pocket-book.”
Budget Time
At budget time, Fisher said, the executive officers of the university anticipate the yearly income and allot it to pay for the various needs of the universi^.
The income and the experfui-tures are on “pretty much of a balance” every year, he said. If one source of income dries up, then this loss has to be made up elsewhere or the university’s services must be curtailed in some area.
“To the extent that we build up or call attention to the benefits of other bookstores, we are theoretically doing something that will cut down the income of our University Bookstore,” he said.
SC Competition
“We do not advertise ‘take your evening work at Los Angeles City College’ or ‘go to summer session at Santa Monica City College’ or ‘go to the Ram’s professional football games’,” he said. “We do not say in our pamphlets, ‘SC is a nice place, but we would like to call your attention to Pomona’.”
“We do not believe,’ the Vice President said, “in advertising our competitors in our newspaper.”
Using the university owned newspaper to call attention to competing bookstores is the same
as letting competing colleges advertise their merits in our paper, Fisher said. It is like allowing the Los Angeles Rams to advertise in the DT that professional football is preferential to college football.
Economic Theory
“It is the university administration’s economic theory that you don’t go out and help your competition,” the Vice President said.
“Goodyear doesnt advertise Firestone tires,” he said, and the university is not going to use the university-owned and subsidized newspaper to call attention to the competitors of the University Bookstore.
In answer to a question by one of the student senators, Fisher said the University Bookstore follows the list price prescribed by the publisher on new textbooks, and surveys have been made from time to time to be sure the university was not charging excessive prices on other merchandise.
When one of the students said that the off-campus bookstores were reaching students on campus with other media of advertising, the Vice President snapped, “They may get it over here anyhow, but we’re not going to help them.”
Following the conference both Van Alstyne ad Bring said that while they do not necessarily agree with the university’s policy, they felt the Vice President had given a clear and complete explanation.
“The administration has shown the respect that we requested,” Van Alstyne and Bring said that^ cific answers In clarification of its policy.
Administration “I appreciate the honest and generous way in which the administration has treated us by responding immediately to our request,” the student body president said.
“We still may not agree with the adminstration’s position,” Van Alstyne added, “but we do understand the logic behind the policy and this understanding is what we asked.”
Those attending the conference in addition to Bring and Van Alstyne were Dea of Students Bernard L. Hyink, DT Business Manager Bob Eisner, and the DT editor.

Bill Van Alstyne, ASSC president said he felt the matter closed unless students express a desire to pay for the service, which is unlikely because students can gash checks cheaper at the bank on Jefferson.
“I think we’ve done all we can to investigate and it just is not practical,” Van Alstyne said.
The recommendation will be submitted to the Senate at their next meeting.

“I’m responsible, Mr. Chairman,” Strauss replied.
He explained that the three-foot wooden boxes contained all the “reading papers” given the
atomic commissioners to study since Jan. 1, 1954, “on every subject other than the Dixon-Yates.”

Why Advertise
A Competitor?'
Asks V. P. Fisher
by Charlie Barnett Daily Trojan Editor
Financial Vice President Robert D. Fisher yesterday complied with a request of the ASSC Senate by clarifying the university’s policy of barring off campus bookstores from advertising in the Daily Trrojan. He explained the university policy in a conference with representatives of the Senate and the DT. -------
Halls of Science" Topic Announced
Paul Saltman. assistant professor of .biochemistry and nutrition, will be on “Halls of Science,” SC’s w-eekly TV program Saturday at 4 p.m. on KRCA, Channel 4. He will give the first of a two-part presentation entitled “The Origin of Life.”
“As long as man has w'andered the face of the earth he has wondered how living things in general, and himself in particular, were created,” Dr. Saltman stated. “The historical evolutioji of ideas concerning the origin of life will be discussed in the light of the new theories and experiments of modem science.”
Wednesday night the Senate had unanimously passed a resolution by Senator-at-large Murray Bring requesting that the administration either drop the advertising ban or give a “satisfactory” explanation for it.
All Agree
Following yesterday’s conference, Bring and ASSC President Bill Van Alstyne who represented the Senate agreed that the administration had complied with the resolution by giving a full explanation.
Vice President Fisher refused to consider lifting the ban and defended it as a sound economic policy in the best interests of the entire university.
Fisher explained that the university operates on the general fund . or “one pocketbook” system of financing. He said it received income from various sources including tuition (by far the largest), endowments, research grants, gifts, net income from athletics and net income from the University Bookstore. All the income is pooled into “one pocket-book.”
Budget Time
At budget time, Fisher said, the executive officers of the university anticipate the yearly income and allot it to pay for the various needs of the universi^.
The income and the experfui-tures are on “pretty much of a balance” every year, he said. If one source of income dries up, then this loss has to be made up elsewhere or the university’s services must be curtailed in some area.
“To the extent that we build up or call attention to the benefits of other bookstores, we are theoretically doing something that will cut down the income of our University Bookstore,” he said.
SC Competition
“We do not advertise ‘take your evening work at Los Angeles City College’ or ‘go to summer session at Santa Monica City College’ or ‘go to the Ram’s professional football games’,” he said. “We do not say in our pamphlets, ‘SC is a nice place, but we would like to call your attention to Pomona’.”
“We do not believe,’ the Vice President said, “in advertising our competitors in our newspaper.”
Using the university owned newspaper to call attention to competing bookstores is the same
as letting competing colleges advertise their merits in our paper, Fisher said. It is like allowing the Los Angeles Rams to advertise in the DT that professional football is preferential to college football.
Economic Theory
“It is the university administration’s economic theory that you don’t go out and help your competition,” the Vice President said.
“Goodyear doesnt advertise Firestone tires,” he said, and the university is not going to use the university-owned and subsidized newspaper to call attention to the competitors of the University Bookstore.
In answer to a question by one of the student senators, Fisher said the University Bookstore follows the list price prescribed by the publisher on new textbooks, and surveys have been made from time to time to be sure the university was not charging excessive prices on other merchandise.
When one of the students said that the off-campus bookstores were reaching students on campus with other media of advertising, the Vice President snapped, “They may get it over here anyhow, but we’re not going to help them.”
Following the conference both Van Alstyne ad Bring said that while they do not necessarily agree with the university’s policy, they felt the Vice President had given a clear and complete explanation.
“The administration has shown the respect that we requested,” Van Alstyne and Bring said that^ cific answers In clarification of its policy.
Administration “I appreciate the honest and generous way in which the administration has treated us by responding immediately to our request,” the student body president said.
“We still may not agree with the adminstration’s position,” Van Alstyne added, “but we do understand the logic behind the policy and this understanding is what we asked.”
Those attending the conference in addition to Bring and Van Alstyne were Dea of Students Bernard L. Hyink, DT Business Manager Bob Eisner, and the DT editor.
